Premier item. Kind of threw me for a loop when I saw it (and the cars) in the catalog. We're picking up speed on a European offerings. I'm glad to see it but I am confused as to why? Is MTH going to compete head to head with Marklin? Are they getting requests for European gear? I love the prewar Marklin and Fandor stuff.
I hope we see more of this.

Very nice. I do like the layout on this page a bit. I like not having to look on another page for the matching cars.

I'm trying to warm up to this format but it is just too cluttered. I am used to strong presentations in graphic arts and layouts. I wish MTH had broken this up a bit more cleanly.
Still, it's a ton of nice tinplate. I'm hoping that delivery will be sped up by fewer new product intros.

Here's where the tires hit the road. I'm probably going to order both flavors of the new green 390E. Almost every original Lionel has something wrong with it. I've seen one or two $5k versions with everything perfect. Otherwise there's always some kind of scratch on the tender or steamchest warp....
Check it out!

A wonderful set. I'm not sure why they put the race car set in their but they are both nice...

A downright nice set. Notice the Flyer switch tower in the lower right corner...

Ok, here we go. I'm not going to add verbiage page for page. I liked the new catalog cover, it is quite nice.
Also, please forgive my scans. It's late, I'm tired but I knew that all of you wanted a look at the new catalog.
Cheers,
